This type of treatment is called Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nicotine in cigarettes makes them addictive, but other substances in cigarette smoke, such as tar, carbon dioxide and other toxins, are more harmful to your health. NRT products like NiQuitin Classic Patches do not have the health dangers of tobacco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nicotine from NRT reduces your cravings for cigarettes and helps you resist the urge to smoke. It also relieves some of the unpleasant symptoms (like feeling ill or irritable) that smokers have when they try to give up. The patches provide a steady amount of nicotine to your body, generally at a lower level than from cigarettes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNiQuitin Classic Patches can be used to help you:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"xBullet\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003estop smoking straightaway\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e(a quit attempt)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecut down on smoking, perhaps before you go on to stop completely (reducing to quit or just reducing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, NiQuitin Classic Patches may be used when you:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"xBullet\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edo not wish to smoke or are unable to smoke, for example in confined spaces (in the car, in the house), where others (such as children) could be harmed by tobacco smoke or in places where smoking is prohibited\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e(temporary abstinence)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edevelop cravings once you have stopped smoking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReducing the number of cigarettes smoked can increase the chances that you will go on to quit completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome people worry that, when they have stopped smoking, they may become dependent on NRT instead.
